Origin and history

The Cross of Landebia, classified as a Historic Monument, is a 16th century stone cross located in the cemetery of the municipality of Landebia, Brittany. This monument is distinguished by its decorated base, framed with columns and decorated with animal representations of allegorical character. These motifs, typical of Breton Renaissance religious art, reflect the beliefs and symbols of the time.

The cross was officially protected by an entry in the inventory of Historical Monuments on 14 September 1964, under the cadastral reference A 391. Owned by the municipality of Landébia (code Insee 22096), it is located at 7 Rue de la Tuonerie, although geographical accuracy is considered to be satisfactory (note 6/10). No information is available on its current accessibility or tourist use.

Available sources, including the Monumentum database and the Mérimée data, highlight its heritage interest without mentioning any identified sponsor or artisan. The lack of details about its specific history or context of creation limits the understanding of its exact role in the local community, beyond its funeral and symbolic function.
